The literature studies reveal that since the 18th century a lot homogenous mixture. Further, the water phase was slowly of work has been done in the field of cosmetics. During the mixed to the oil phase, which was assisted with vigorous very first attempts, natural oils such as almond oil were agitation and continuous heating. During this time of mixing blended with to yield skin care products. Later, the two phases, SLS was crushed into the fine powder form utilization of mineral oil for the preparation of cosmetic and added to the reaction mass. After the complete addition, products had become the trend. But now technologists are the product was cooled to yield shaving cream. again trying to switch towards the natural raw materials. With the same objective, this paper highlights the usage of Table – 6: Composition of Shaving Cream Kusum Oil as a basic raw material for cosmetic preparations.

4. Consistency – Cosmetic preparations are defined by oiliness. pH which is one of the most important property for their viscosity or thickness. Formulating such any skin care product was successfully improved and preparations, therefore, largely depends upon the brought to the permissible limits. The product had good flow required end-product consistency, influencing the and was easily spreadable on the skin, without much drag. choice of material to use. One desirable factor Similarly talking about shaving cream, the pH the sample (viscosity) in product development is having a slightly acidic which is favourable for our skin. The next product that easily squeezes out of a tube and important factor when it comes to shaving cream is foam. breaks off cleanly after application. Foam plays a vital role in wetting the beard and smooth flow 5. Surface Tension – Different formulations are of razor over the skin. Absorption Rate is also a deciding defined by their viscosity or thickness. The lower factor for shaving cream. It is very important that the the viscosity, the lower will be the surface shaving cream is quickly absorbed by the skin. tension and the more will be its Spreadability. Similarly the hair conditioner was the thick opaque liquid. 6. Absorption Rate – When the foam is being sprayed The pH of the sample is acidic. This sample develops a little on a piece of filter paper, the time required by the lather when worked into wet hair and contribute to the moisture to reach the bottom of the filter paper conditioning effect, reducing the friction between hair gives the absorption rate. 7. Foam Content – It is the height of the column of strands. foam that is generated after spraying it in a foam cylinder and shaking it upside down for 40 times. 5. CONCLUSIONS
